It’s hard to watch your kids struggle.
Sometimes you have to jump in and fix it for them… but sometimes you have to stand back and watch them figure it out.
Ugh.
We are dealing with one of those “stand back” times right now, and it’s not fun.
But as parents trying to raise Godly kids…
- We have to allow them to mess up.
- We must bite our tongue as we watch them make decisions that could backfire.
- We need to give them the freedom to try and fail.
If we don’t… how will they learn?
I’m sharing the details of our struggle at CWAHM today.
I wonder if you’ve dealt with something like this, too. Why not come visit me and share your experience.

This is true. I so have to let go and let them fail at times. I’m learning. My oldest is 9, and I’m learning daily to let go little by little.
